Answer:

y = -2x + 2

Explanation:

so to find the slope of the graph we must do (rise)/(run)

when we see the graph we see that when it goes DOWN 2 it also goes RIGHT 1

RISE is up or down

RUN is left or right

since it is down it is negative

so

-2 / 1

that is just -2

that is the slope

the equation for slope intercept is y = mx + b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

so far it is y = -2x + b

the y intercept is where it crosses the y axis

that point is 2 based off of the graph

so

y = -2x + 2 is your answer
